Risk Factors
Common risk factors in the development of internal rectal prolapse include:
- Female gender
- Obstetrical history (vaginal delivery, previous obstetrical trauma)
- Hormonal status (onset of menopause)
- Systemic connective tissue diseases (dysfunction of the elastic fibers of the rectal wall)
- Increase intra-abdominal pressure such as straining, constipation or chronic coughing (elements that favor the onset of internal rectal prolapse)[1]
Anismus is, by the characteristic efforts provoked, also a cause of IRP
